Shrikrupa DesaiMom of 2 children3 years agoA. Not directly but indirectly it might be related. Immunity develops from the food that the child eats. If the food is not getting digested properly, it leads to constipation and immunity is affected. And this may result in frequent cold. I have experienced this with regards to my child.
Try to give more fibrous foods like vegetables and fruits. Once the digestion improves, immunity Will be boosted.
Helped in my child's case. :)

Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. Cough along with Cold most of the time is a viral illness and it needs supportive care along with proper hydration. you can give steam inhalation which is very useful .
cough needs to be treated with anti allergic ande expectorant bronchodilators or antitussives medicine which should be given only after a proper evaluation by the doctor accordindg to the type of cough.
if fever is there paracetamol can be given to reduce the fever and the dose can be repeated after 6 hours again if required .
